About PackRips
I've loved cards since I was a kid. I still keep binders, still trade, and still like opening a pack by hand.
Now most ripping happens on websites. A pack costs anywhere from $0.10 to $20,000 and opens in a second, and each site shows off its best pulls. None of them tell you how much a pack pays back on average, so I started counting.
PackRips reads the pulls 19 sites make public, matches each one to what it cost, and adds them up. 760 pulls are on record, all of them counted from the live feeds.
The site is free. I don't take referral, affiliate or sponsor money, and links to operators carry no codes, so I earn nothing whether a site ranks first or last.
If knowing the numbers means you rip a little less, I'm happy with that.
How PackRips stays independent
Links
Links to rip sites go to the plain homepage, with referral codes stripped.
Placement
No site can buy a rank, a grade, a mention or a review. The same rules apply to every site.
Sources
Every figure is PackRips' own count from the sites' live feeds, and says how many pulls it rests on.
Method
The methodology shows how each number is worked out.
Rip with your eyes open
On most packs, most pulls are worth less than the pack. Ripping is paid entertainment for adults (18+, and only where it's legal for you). Set a budget and rip only with money you can afford to lose. If it stops being fun, free and confidential help is at ncpgambling.org (US, 1-800-GAMBLER) or begambleaware.org (UK).
Questions
How does PackRips make money?
It doesn't. PackRips is a free resource built by one card nerd, and it takes no referral, affiliate or sponsor money. Operators can't buy placement.
Does PackRips use referral or affiliate links?
No. Every link to a rip site goes to its plain homepage with referral codes stripped, and PackRips takes no affiliate or sponsor money from operators.
Who runs PackRips?
One person who has loved cards their whole life. The site stays anonymous on purpose, so the numbers have to stand on their own: every figure shows its pulls counted, its source and the method behind it.
How do I report a wrong number?
Email hello@packrips.org with the page and what you think is wrong. Fixes go into the data, so the site, the API and llms.txt change together. Operators use the same address and can't pay to change a figure.
